Stewart-Handy
From Las Vegas to the Yalunka of Guinea — 60 Generations
“Every Black family in America deserves to know what was erased.”
Research Subject
Summary
The founding case study of Code Black. Beginning with Daniel Dajai Stewart-Handy in Las Vegas, this 60-generation trace moves through Louisiana plantation records, South Carolina slave schedules, the Charleston slave port, and across the Atlantic to the Yalunka people of the Futa Jallon highlands in modern-day Guinea. This research proved the methodology that powers the entire Code Black engine.
